Description
During World War II, two major groups, the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers, fought for control and influence around the world. The Allies, including countries like the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain, worked together to stop the expansion of the Axis Powers led by Germany, Italy, and Japan. While both sides used military force and propaganda, they had very different goals, leadership, and political systems. Understanding these similarities and differences helps explain how the war was fought and why the Allies ultimately won.
